cpu heatsink/fan on graphics card?

[PipeBom]

Don't know if this should be in the cooling section but I'm wondering if anybody has sucessfully mounted a cpu heatsink/ fan on their graphics card? I want to mount my old standard intel cpu heatsink/fan on my ASUS GeForce2 MX 400 and don't have much of an idea how to. :confused: I'm sure that I've seen it done before on the internet somewhere, but that was before I had even got the MX 400. If anybody has done it or knows how to, then any help would be great!!

( Any pics would help enormously! )
:D

Hey Pipe,

A crystal Orb would work nicely on a Mx.

Does your video card have push-pins on the current heatsink?

If you are set on putting a cpu heatsink on your gpu the instructions on the bottom of this article may be helpul to you.

I have an old pentium heatsink that I modifyed a bit on mine. Works fine for me. If you want I could probly barrow a digital camera and post a pic or two of it.

Yeah, my MX has the push-pins you talk about Silversinksam. It currently has a blue orb on it. I know its proberly not worth the effort in getting the cpu heatsink/fan on the card, but I want to do it for the glory! hehehe :D No one I know has done it so I want to be the first out of my friends. You say a crystal orb goes well on an MX?? I will check that out before I start.

The GeForce3 ti200 comes with a small fan and ramsinks..I just added a small fan to each of the 2 ramsinks..works fine...

I hate to be a pain funnyperson1, but your pic of your graphics card isn't showing up at http:\\funnyperson1.50megs.com/computerpics.html. All it has is a box labled ' Video Card Cooling Setup ', but there is no picture. If you can't fix the web page problem, then mabey attach it to a post in this forum ( assuming its not too big in size ). That would be great if you could do that!! :D :D
Thanks.

By the way, if anyone else has pics of cpu hs/fan on their graphics card then it would be great to have a look at them too.

funnyperson1, I did eventually get that pic from your homepage. Thanks. :D :D

Damn, your heatsink is bigger than mine! And I thought mine was pretty big for a GPU HSF.
